"Putin's Secret Visit to Occupied Ukraine Raises Questions"

Russian President Vladimir Putin made a rare visit to occupied Ukraine, but a verbal slip suggests the trip happened days earlier and was kept secret. The Kremlin said Putin visited a military headquarters in Russian-occupied Ukraine on April 17, but video footage seemed to refute that. Putin is seen saying Orthodox Easter, held on April 16, was "coming up," suggesting the visit was earlier. The trip was Putin's second recorded visit to Ukraine since Russia invaded the country in February 2022.
